Baby Shower

THANK YOU!!
I have a wonderful group of friends that came to celebrate the upcoming birth of our baby boy. It was so much fun to visit and relax with such amazing women. As the day was coming to an end I started to get really sad, as so many of those celebrating with me won't be here for the birth. With so many of their husbands graduating medical or dental school they'll be moving on to residency. This means that their time in Milwaukee has come to an end. I wish them the best of luck, however we will be missing their smiling faces each week.

"The Boy's" room

The nursery is ready and waiting for our little one to arrive. We agreed on paint and finished painting, over the course of a week, with the help of my parents. Thanks Grammy and Bubba. :) A few more details to add, like the pictures on the wall, and the window treatments, that my mom is also making will pull it all together. My mother in law is going to recover our glider as well, so a few final details. However it looks like a baby's room.


My due date is not until Aug. 5, but we are too excited to wait any longer to get everything ready. Joe and I are so excited to meet our little boy, even though we are still fighting over his name. We have been calling him the following:


1. The Boy 2. Beeboo 3. Peter (Joe's pick) 4. Henry (My pick)
Now one might ask why not just combine the names we favor, but they each have a middle name to go with it. Henry James, or Peter Joseph. Please help us out, if you dare.


We have washed his little clothes and put them in his drawers according to size and item. All the onsies are grouped on one side, while the sleepers are on the other side of the drawer. Outfits are in another drawer all together. My mom has already commented that he has more clothes than I did at age 4. She has also stated that after he is about 2 months old, she wants to take another peek at his drawers to see if they are still as organized as they are now. I make no promises, however it looks nice and works for now. What they will look like after nights with no sleep, with a pile of laundry to do, and a little one demanding all the attention I can only imagine. As I said, I make no promises!
